Scratch & Dent Strings

What is SCRATCH & DENT?

Our product codes ending in "-1S" or "-2S" are blemished. These products are new and unused with superficial blemishes that may include, blisters in the finish, scratches, dents, stains, discoloration, rust or pitting on metals, imperfect glazes, non-structural repairs such as putty in nail holes, or other surface marks. A "-1S" product has minor blemishes and a "-2S" product has moderate blemishes and/or minor repairs. The irregularity does not affect the playability or sound quality of the instrument.

Product codes ending in "-3S" and "-4S" are also new and unused, but came to us needing repairs. If it’s a "-3S," the product has been repaired, but if it’s a "-4S," it will still require significant repairs when received by the customer.

Our product codes ending in "PROP" are unable to be played and are for display purposes only.

Please note: For safety during shipping, we don’t tune our instruments before sending to customers.
